Amazing!

First of all it looks really good (although not very comforting - little
time to run).

I recently read a SF novel (by Larry Niven I believe) which describes
exactly this type of thing, only then it's not Earth that burns up but
Pluto. It was fun to read because written somewhere in the sixties and
it describes how a spacevessel tries to land on Pluto unaware of the
fact that the surface consists of frozen oxygen and hydrogen (or
something like that). In the description is something about a ring of
fire spreading over the planet and folding around it. 
Somehow that appealed to me and so does this animation. Did you already
post the source or if you won't will you be rendering a larger (screen &
time) version?
